This is my first ever tripadvisor review and I rarely spend my time doing these things, but after my recent overnight I felt I had to balance the perspective of the last couple reviews.
I found Airport Garden while I was looking for a place to sleep during a 10 hour overnight layover in PEK. After reading the reviews here I nearly canceled my reservation. I am glad I did not.
No, there were no "masseuses" loitering in the hallways. The room temperature was appropriate, though I grant it was neither hot nor cold outside. Being somewhat concerned about my pickup not appearing, I did send a message to Ctrip immediately prior to departure to remind them.
I was promptly met by a hotel representative holding a sign with my name right in the baggage claim area. She promptly ushered me to the shuttle. I did not have to claim my bags, and the total time from gate to my room was 40 minutes - quite good, really.
The lobby was large if not particularly attractive. The check-in was straightforward. The hallways were dark.
The room was average in size and for my needs I only wish the bed were softer.
For an 8:30 am departure the hotel reception asked me to catch the 6:00 am shuttle. Being a Sunday morning, this might have been earlier than necessary but I had time for a good breakfast in the Air China First Class lounge and did not get to partake of the Airport Garden breakfast. They had a breakfast boxed to go, if I wanted it.
The shuttle left promptly at 6:00am, somewhat more punctual than I was expecting. I was cutting it close and I received first a phone call and then a visit from the hotel staff to make sure I made the shuttle.
Overall, the experience was quite satisfactory and I would probably use it again in a similar situation, unless accommodations were available within the terminal itself.
